About our Programs
All outpatient groups facilitated by Mayo Private hospital are focused on delivering evidence-based treatments to manage complex mental health difficulties.
We offer three groups within our current treatment protocol, which include: The Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) course which is offered that the Mayo Private Hospital in Taree, the Cognitive Behaviour Therapy - Chronic Pain Management Course (CBT focus) which is offered at the Forster and Mayo Private Hospital, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy – Mood Management (Port Macquarie), and the Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) course which is offered at the Mayo Private Hospital. These groups are run in 10-week intervals (during the school terms) and are either half-day (3.5 hours) or full day (5.5 hours) in duration.

How to join program?
The aim of each course is to focus on developing skills to assist participants to function more effectively in their daily lives and reduce the distress associated with their mental health difficulties. To be considered for admission into one of these groups, potential participants must be referred by an appropriate medical professional (e.g., General Practitioner, Psychiatrist, psychologist, physiotherapist etc.) and meet certain criteria for inclusion within these groups.
Having met these criteria, the treating team will then decide which group would be most suitable for the individual in question. To help with this process, we have created the following checklist for referrers to complete to assist with triage.
